here is the list of supported CPUs by BIOS http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A97/#CPU...
your chip needs version 0815 and the X2 you mention is supported by 0503 which looks like the lowest one so I think you should be fine.
I think you need to make the update as the FX chip is AM3+ and I bet the board is an Am3 board that you can update through bios to AM3+
